Currently, WLAN chip is powered once during driver probe and is kept

suspend, chip will not be put into low power mode when the system is
suspended resulting in higher battery drain.

Send QMI MODE OFF command to firmware during WiFi OFF to put device
into low power mode.

Tested-on: WCN6750 hw1.0 AHB WLAN.MSL.1.0.1-00887-QCAMSLSWPLZ-1

This series looked potentially promising to me for a problem that I'm seeing on a notebook failing to sleep where WLAN_WAKE is asserted on the WCN6855 on resume even though WoW wasn't set at all.  This is problematic as it causes a spurious wake while SUT is reading from the EC since two IRQs are now active and the kernel wakes from that.
Removing the WCN6855 from the system it doesn't happen.

I figured I'd give it a spin to see if it improved things.
I applied the series on top of 5.19-rc7 and it applied cleanly but I get timeouts on wlan card init (and of course suspend fails now too).

Here's the mhi/ath11k_pci snippets:

And so - on.
Is it functionally dependent on other patches in linux-next or another tree I won't see in 5.19?

I had a try with linux-next and your series but I reproduce the same failure I described above.
